True faith and allegiance : immigration and American civic nationalism

"True Faith and Allegiance is an account of nationalism and the politics of turning immigrants into citizens and Americans. Noah Pickus offers an alternative to the wild swings between emotionally fraught positions on immigration and citizenship of the past two decades. Ranging over the fields of political theory, history, and law, he argues for a renewed civic nationalism that melds principles and peoplehood."
